Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class GNet::ClientPtr< T >

A smart pointer class for GNet::Client or similar.

The ClientPtr is-a ExceptionHandler, so it should be the ExceptionHandler part of the Client's EventState:

m_client_ptr.reset( new Client( m_es.eh(m_client_ptr) , ... ) ) ;

If that is done then the contained Client object will get deleted as the result of an exception thrown out of a network event handler (including GNet::Done) with internal notification to the Client's onDelete() method and external notification via the smart pointer's deleteSignal(). If the Client is deleted from the smart pointer's destructor then there are no notifications.

If the Client is given some higher-level object as its ExceptionHandler then the ClientPtr will not do any notification and the higher-level object must ensure that the Client object is deleted or disconnected when an exception is thrown:

void Foo::fn()
{
m_client_ptr.reset( new Client( m_es.eh(this,&m_client_ptr) , ... ) ) ;
}
void Foo::onException( ExceptionSource * esrc , std::exception & e , bool done )
{
if( esrc == &m_client_ptr )
{
m_client_ptr->doOnDelete( e.what() , done ) ;
m_client_ptr.reset() ; // or m_client_ptr->disconnect() ;
}
}

Failure to delete the client from within the higher-level object's exception handler will result in bad event handling, with the event loop raising events that are never cleared.
